What is recorded here

On a relatively steep S facing slope, sitting on old field bank, in a reclaimed area. A large granite boulder (L 1.1m; Wth 0.75m; T 0.65m) with two large cup marks (diams. 9-11cm; D 2.5cm) and three small cup marks (diams. 5cm-7cm; D 0.5cm-1cm).

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cup marks on the granite boulder may have held ritual or symbolic significance, possibly related to water, fertility, or celestial events. Such rock art is often associated with ceremonial landscapes, though local folklore or specific use is not recorded.
